So much has changed since I was there in the 1990's. It was a solid employer. It still may be a decent place to work.

Easygoing
Truck Load Service Coordinator (Freight Broker) (Former Employee), Bolingbrook, IL – March 24, 2013
Great place to work. Great people.RR Donnelley was a very clean and professional work place. Everyone there worked hard and independently. I learned how to deal with all sorts of customers and work well under pressure. It was sometimes busy and the other half of the time is was medium paced. There was not a huge turnover with Donnelley and everyone – more... respected one another. – less

Productive yet so fun
Assembler (Former Employee), Plover, WI – March 21, 2013
Pros: station rotation and only two 15 minute breaks; perfect time to eat and get some air
Cons: favoritism
Each day going into work, sanitizing and lab coats were very important. As well as production and order. If the products/items were in a certain order, you wold need to keep it that way even if the day before, you did it a different way. I learned so many things and improved my math knowledge. The supervisors and leads were all great and always made – more... you feel comfortable doing the work. The people that work there, in general, are all great as well. They're nice, friendly and welcoming. Starting out first, everything was difficult. Getting use to the tasks were quite easy though. The hardest I would say would be figuring all the kits made at the end of each hour. It was quite confusing. The most enjoyable part f the job was, for me, everything but the adding up at the end of each hour – less

Horrible company to work for. Jefferson City, Missouri
Book binder II (Current Employee), Von Hoffmann division, Jefferson City, Missouri – March 8, 2013
Pros: it's a job.
Cons: long hours. bad treatment of employees.
I worked for this company for over ten years. They do not appreciate their employees at all. It's based on the good ole boy system. As long as your part of the in crowd your gold. Management within this division is a joke. I would not recommend this place for employment to anyone. Long hours. Filthy facility.

Was a good place to work.
Receiving/Returns Clerk (Current Employee), Greenville, WI – March 2, 2013
Nice place to work, always something different to do in any given day, Learned to multi-task as I was the only one in the Receiving department. Co-workers were very helpful. Hardest part of the job was that being the only person on the dock I had to balance unloading, verifying packing slips and receive in in a timely manner. Most enjoyable was that – more... it was a challenge. – less

Creative and client focussed environment.
Creative Director (Current Employee), London, ENG – March 2, 2013
A typical day starts early. The variety of creative challenges and my interesting client list gets me out of bed in the morning. There isnt really a typical day for me - thats one of the things I like about it.

The pace is fast, the work is varied and the time flies. That can be the hardest part of my job and the most enjoyable too!

One standout plus – more... point for me is client contact - I love to take a brief, hear about a creative challenge from a client and then focus on delivering the best possible solution. The best part of my job is receiving positive feedback from a happy client. – less

Customer Service Specialist/Administrative (Former Employee), Atlanta, GA – February 25, 2013
Pros: professional setting, great benefits, great company
Cons: na
A typical day at work for me started at 8am. Being an Administrative Assistant, my workload was always steady and I always had plenty to do. One major thing that I've learned is that being organized sure do make things go a lot smoother. I was known for being prompt and ready. I was the only one in my office which held the Admin. position therefore – more... I took on a lot of responsibilities. Spreadsheets, Letters, Meeting Arrangements, Supply Ordering, Presentations and much more. Because there was not a huge turnover with my recent company, my co-workers and I worked close for years and we all had such a great understanding and worked as team players. This is what made my job enjoyable. Honestly, I would never hear anyone complain but instead, everyone knew their job and would work hard daily. – less

old fashion sweat shop
Accounting Clerk II (Former Employee), Manchester, NH – February 20, 2013
Cons: everything
I worked there for 22 years and after all is said and done I wish I hadn't. There is nothing good to say about this company. HR and management were a joke. Unfair to everyone that wasn't in their click. It makes me ill thinking that I was there for that long.
